  abstract = {{T}ermites have developed a wide array of defensive mechanisms. {O}ne of them is the mandibulate soldier caste that crushes or pierces their enemies. {H}owever, in several lineages of {T}ermitinae, soldiers have long and slender mandibles that cannot bite but, instead, snap and deliver powerful strikes to their opponents. {H}ere, we use morphological and molecular evidence to describe {R}oisinitermes ebogoensis {S}cheffrahn, gen. & sp. n. from near {M}balmayo, {C}ameroon. {S}oldiers of {R}. ebogoensis are unique among all other kalotermitid soldiers in that they possess snapping mandibles. {T}he imago of {R}. ebogoensis is also easily distinguished from all other {K}alotermitidae by the lack of ocdli. {O}ur study reveals a new case of parallel evolution of snapping mandibles in termites, a complex apparatus responsible of one of the fastest biological acceleration rates measured to date.},
